... I am obviously too senile ...

... to work at Hampton Court Palace. I didn't even get interviewed to do the job of selling tickets and souvenirs to the public. Having 20 years experience teaching, including 5 years in centres dealing exclusively to none English speakers - I figure I would have been a potentially good choice for the position, particularly as I live within walking distance. I can only assume that being over 55 is the only reason that I was not selected to be interviewed for one of the posts.
